Chapter 315: Horror Holes Attached to Objects
Shops are open as usual. There is almost no water on the flat road in front of the stores. Lush green plants stretch their bodies in the rain and dew. When the coffee shop on the corner opens and closes its door, the rich aroma of coffee beans wafts who had just got off work did not bring umbrellas with them, and they hurriedly walked with briefcases on their heads. The rest of the people were holding umbrellas of various colors, some walking quickly while others walked leisurely.
Not only Ranran found it puzzling, Shen Dinghai was even more confused.
"What about the terrifying cave... the terrifying cave?"
Among the three uniformed men squatting on the street, there was a tall and handsome boy. When he heard Shen Dinghai's words, he stood up with a smile on his face.
The remaining man and woman.
The man was fiddling with his cell phone, while the woman just squatted there, not saying a word.
The handsome boy asked excitedly: "Overwhelming and Evil Child?"
Before Shen Dinghai and Ran Ran could answer, he bent down and asked, "Why is such a cute little sister called a bad child?"
"She looks like a fairy tale princess."
The good impression Shen Dinghai had just established collapsed in an instant. He stood in front of Ran Ran, as if protecting his own child.
The handsome boy said cheerfully: "It's totally a compliment. I hope you and little sister don't mind. I am sunshine."
Shen Dinghai gritted his teeth and said, "You can tell from looking at it. He is a sunny and cheerful boy!"
Yangguang looked at Shen Dinghai with some surprise, "Do you know this little sister? Although this is my first mission, I heard that it is rare to meet familiar explorers."
Shen Dinghai did not intend to hide it. "Ran... Etong is my cousin. Don't look at her young age. She is of a very high generation and is much more mature than other children."
Ran Ran nodded in response.
"Just now I saw that you seemed very confused about the scene here... and you were wearing your own clothes... Have you not been to the base for training yet?"
"What training do you need?" Ran Ran asked calmly. Her clear eyes would make anyone who saw them calm down and feel relaxed and at ease.
Yangguang was stunned for a moment, "Your eyes are so beautiful..."
It was not until he met Shen Dinghai's vicious gaze that he touched his head embarrassedly.
"Actually, there wasn't much training, just some theoretical knowledge, such as the personnel composition of the base. Since you don't know yet, you can ask me if you have any questions during the mission!"
Yangguang patted his chest and said, "I will tell you everything I know!"
"I just heard you say explorers..." Shen Dinghai observed Yangguang's sincere attitude and immediately said, "But aren't we pioneers?"
Yangguang smiled brightly, "It seems like you really don't know anything."
"A pioneer is a special explorer. To put it simply, it is an explorer who has performed the first mission to enter an unknown cave. The bureau just respectfully calls them pioneers."
“When we usually address them, we use the general term explorer.”
"Moreover, the pioneers don't always carry out missions to explore unknown horror caves. They are often assigned to explorer missions and explore horror caves that already have danger level data. Otherwise, they always take risks in places they know nothing about... The risk is too great!"
Yangguang said, pointing to the woman squatting in the corner, "Just like Sister Xiaonu, you should have seen her past missions. Among them, the B-level and C-level missions are to follow the explorers to explore the known horror caves."
"The terrifying cave where the C-level mission was located even disappeared directly!"
"Right, Sister Xiaonu!"
The woman stood up upon hearing this, but she did not straighten her body. When the tall Yangguang stood next to her, the slight bend in her back became more obvious.
"It has indeed dissipated, thanks to the B-level explorer who led us." Shen Dinghai listened and nodded, "It turns out to be a B-level ability. No wonder it can break through the C-level horror cave!"
The laughing girl lowered her head and shook her head. "No, there is no necessary connection between cracking a horror cave and the explorer's ability level. A B-level explorer may not be able to crack a D-level horror cave."
Ran Ran then asked, "Then what do you think is the key to cracking the horror cave?"
“…I don’t know…” Xiaonu shook her head awkwardly. Yangguang saw this and tried to smooth things over.
"If Sister Xiaonu had mastered this key, she would have led us to punch every hole in the non-adjustment bureau long ago, haha. And I've already discovered that Sister Xiaonu is a little shy, so it's best if you don't always hang around her."
Xiaonv raised her head and looked at Yangguang with gratitude.
Shen Dinghai stood beside Ran Ran and muttered, "She doesn't look like she likes to laugh, why is she called the Laughing Girl?"
He was afraid of offending others, so he spoke very softly, but Xiaonu still looked up at Shen Dinghai quickly as if she had telepathy.
"…There's a reason, that…my mother wants me to smile more…"
"I see!" Shen Dinghai didn't expect to be caught talking nonsense, and smiled awkwardly, "I can feel the relationship between you and your mother, haha, it must be very good!"
The smiling girl pursed her lips, as if she was shy, and stopped talking.
Shen Dinghai couldn't help but think in his heart, he is really shy... He hasn't met such a shy person in real life for a long time. Could he be an extremely socially phobic person?
Ran Ran asked the original question, "Where is the Fear Cave?"
After all, the street is peaceful.
Yangguang showed a mysterious smile, "I will still be the one to popularize knowledge!"
"The appearance of the horror hole is like a very small black hole. It is more accurate to call it a black vortex. Some of them float in the air, and some are attached to various objects."
"Those floating in the air can be seen directly with the naked eye, but those attached to objects can only be seen and entered by touching specific objects."
"Each horror hole has its own coverage area when it is first created. The parts within its coverage area fall into horror, but..."
"People who enter the Terror Cave area after the Terror Cave is created will not find anything unusual. The scene covered by the Terror Cave in their eyes will remain the same as what they usually see, until..."
"When he discovers something is wrong and starts to doubt and fear, he will be pulled into the cave of fear by fear."
Yangguang pointed to a road sign on the side of the road, on which were written three big characters: "Minglong Road".
"Everything looks normal now, right? But in fact, starting from this road sign and extending all the way to the other end of the street, the entire road is covered by the horror hole."
Shen Dinghai was puzzled. "How do you know this? Aren't we the first group of explorers to enter the Moth Road?"
"I don't know the specific operating principle, but the Non-Investigation Bureau has special measuring instruments that will react when detecting the energy of a terror hole. In this way, the measurement team can know the approximate range of a terror hole."
"Measurement team?"
"As the name suggests, they are the personnel who use measuring instruments to measure the size of the terror cave. Every terror cave that a group of pioneers are about to enter must first be measured by the measurement team before they can enter."
"This is also the first step in evaluating the danger level of a horror cave."
Yangguang patted his chest and said, "I was a member of the surveying team before, and I just transferred to the pioneer department. It's nice to meet you!"
Shen Dinghai murmured, "Then you can be said to have moved from a risk-free logistics department to an extremely high-risk front-line department. How dangerous!"
"How did you come to this decision?"
Yangguang smiled cheerfully, "Isn't it that life has to be lived like this to be meaningful? Otherwise, it would be so boring to live a dull life!"
